Thinking of You

My Dearest Love,

It has been too long since we have talked. It's not that I don't think of you. It's more that the little things that steal my time have been fairly mundane and I hate to distract you from your explorations out among the stars with such earthly chatter.

It is almost a year now that you have been gone. I think of that often because there are several things that will happen with that date as a trigger. I have been preparing for it for some time now and I think that all of the business items will be lined up and taken care of. Some of what might occur cannot be known and prepared against because they are things of the heart. I will be setting aside time for myself and will not plan on doing anything serious that day.

I heard from your best friend, P, who said you came to her in a dream. She said that you let her know that you were keeping an eye on us back here and that you had been following the soap opera that has played out over much of the past nine months. There haven't been any real fireworks in some time, mostly because I have kept to myself. Some time ago, I made the decision to move on and spend my energy on other things in front of me. I see your sister, B, on a pretty regular basis due to our mutual fiduciary responsibilities and we have kept things on a very business like manner for the most part. The exception being the little matter that I last wrote to you about.

I have not had much contact at all with your other sister, P. She still has weekly dates with our son and as long as that goes well, I will not interfere.

I have decided however to make changes in my estate planning that will no doubt displease them. After much thought and discussion with others who's opinions I value, I have decided to change the plans we once made as they relate to guardianship of our children should I follow you before they reach their majority. Associated legal declarations will also be changed so that I can rest a bit easier in the belief that should I die or become incapacitated, the power to make decisions will be placed with those whom I trust.

I am at peace with this. I believe that the decisions I have made are sound and in the best interest of myself and our family. Should you come to me in a dream, I look forward to hearing what you think.

Until then, I hope you are taking lots of snapshots so that when we are together again, you can show me what you have seen.

With all my love.
